You may want to look at dsa keys, that is how I do it.
You create a dsa key and then add it to your known hosts file in
~home/.ssh/ 
Another alternative which works well is using php to call an expect
script, that way you don't need to bother with dsa keys (if security is
a concern).
'expect' comes with a script called autoexpect that you can quickly use
to create an expect script just 'autoexpect scp ..whatever..' and it
will create a script that you can call with 'expect script.exp' that
will do what you did during the autoexpect situation.
I have found that it is usually good to modify scripts done with
autoexpect though.

cheers
